Garlic Shrimp in Tomato Sauce
This easy recipe for garlicky shrimp in tomato sauce takes some inspiration from puttanesca, with capers, black olives, and a pinch of crushed red pepper. The dish works well as an accompaniment to crusty bread or as a simple shrimp pasta sauce.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds large shrimp, shelled
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large pinch dried red-pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 2 medium tomatoes (about 3/4 pound), peeled and chopped
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons drained capers
- 1/3 cup halved and pitted black olives
Instructions
- 1In a large nonstick frying pan, heat oil over moderate heat. Add shrimp, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove shrimp from pan with a slotted spoon.
